- Abstract
The first case in the Covid-19 pandemic, which has influenced all over the world, was seen in the Wuhan Province of China on December 1, 2019, and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020 (The Republic of Turkey, Ministry of Health, 2020). In this study, road, rail, and air transportation data between 2011 and 2020 were evaluated to examine the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on passenger and freight transportation in Turkey and interpreted by comparing them with the Covid-19 period. Since there were not many studies on these three sectors, it is thought that the article can contribute to the literature. The most recent data in the records of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) were accessed for the year 2020 but there was no data on maritime transportation for recent years, so this sector was not included in the analysis. According to the findings, until 2019, in all of the transportation data examined this study for every year there was a stable trend and only a tiny change, but in 2020, a significant decrease was observed these sectors on it except road and rail freight transportation. In 2020, the number of passengers decreased by 61% and the amount of cargo decreased by 39% in airline transportation compared to the previous year. Similarly, the number of railway passengers and road passengers has reduced by 40% and 15% respectively, whereas the amount of railway and road freight has increased by 3% and 2% respectively. In addition, within 10 years, the shares of passenger and freight volumes in these sectors were also examined, it was found that there was an increase in road and rail freight transportation and a decrease in passenger transportation in 2020. Also, in 2020 compared with 2019, the share of airline passenger transportation has declined by 8% and with the same trend, the freight rate has diminished by 5%. As a result of these assessments, it can be stated that the Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected passenger and freight transportation in all three sectors and has caused economic losses.
